Field Trip payments through FACTS!
Charges for field trips have begun to show on some FACTS accounts. If you signed up for Auto Pay you’ll receive an email invoice from FACTS notifying you of the charge and the automatic payment date. Due dates will be set for 4 business days prior to the field trip. At the bottom of the email is an explanation of the charge, i.e. “Grade 2 Field Trip”. Those of you not on Auto Pay will receive the same invoice prompting you to go into your account to authorize payment on or before the due date.
The cost of each field trip will still be listed on the permission slip, however, we very much prefer if payment could be made through your FACTS account. Permission slips still have to be returned to the homeroom teachers.
